Wheel-on trainer tires: sizes, pressures and brand prices
Continental, Vittoria, Saris and Kinetic trainer tires: brand sizes, pressures, weights and US store prices checked 12 Oct 2026.
At a glance
Who it's for: riders on a wheel-on trainer (or rollers) who want a dedicated indoor tire instead of grinding a road tire into the drum.
Short answer: a wheel-on trainer wears the rear tire. Brands sell dedicated trainer tires for that job, and several mark them indoor / rollers / home trainer only. Use the maker's size and pressure range; put the road tire back on before you go outside.

Saris Trainer Tire

Kinetic trainer tires
Two brand product surfaces on kurtkinetic.com (checked 12 Oct):
- Trainer Tires — choose 700 × 23c (T-738) or 26" × 1" (T-737) at $60.00. Copy: "Preserve your outdoor tire… durable trainer tire for indoor riding." Brand note: 26×1 (T-737) with Pro Flywheel on Road Machine / Rock and Roll can rub the frame; Kinetic then points to a larger slick (Kenda Kwest) as an alternative — that is not a Kinetic tire pressure claim.
- 700 × 25c Trainer Tire — part T-739, $35.00, listed sold out on 12 Oct. "Works well with standard road wheels and narrower 29-inch mountain bike wheels."
Tire weight and PSI are not stated on these Kinetic pages. A separate "26-inch Trainer Tire" nav URL returned Kinetic's Uh-oh page on 12 Oct; the 26×1 size remains on the chooser above.
